Polly,
 PG> Does anyone have a sure fire method to stop a cockatiel from laying?
Boy is this a switch. Most of would give an arm to have the birds lay.
 PG> My hen lays infertile eggs, because she and her mate (an experienced 
ird
 PG> who should know better) are not making proper vent to vent contact when
 PG> they copulate.  Basically, she rubs herself on a food dish, and he hops 
on
 PG> for the ride.
 PG> After the last infertile nest (3 so far), I removed the nest box.
 PG> But she's laid 2 more eggs since.
Do you not have a mature male for her? Do you have any fertile eggs that you 
could put under her?
